Many people ask “where did DSC come from?” After 25 years of success with J&T Distributing selling black rifle parts and accessories, Teresa and Jesse Starnes(Double-Starnes’) decided to create a full line of complete weapons to satisfy the thousands of requests to build an AR-15. The J&T Distributing customer base demanded a rifle that incorporated the versatility and quality that J&T had been providing them for so long.

That is where DSC was born.

Manufactured in Winchester Kentucky, DSC has continued to supply not only the commercial market but military and law enforcement forces across the world with high quality firearms they can depend on. Every rifle built uses only US made parts, but is built with precision, care, and pride. Each rifle is built, test fired, and boxed to be sent to one of our many dealers across the country.

While DSC is in full swing, J&T Distributing remains in business in the same facility, allowing our customers to have a full line of parts and accessories to build the custom rifle of their dreams. Don’t ever hesitate to dream and ask one of our experienced customer service techs if your rifle can be built. Don’t see it on the website? Don’t be afraid to ask.

Still not convinced? Ask a friend, officer, or soldier that has used our fine rifles. When seconds matter, DoubleStar rifles have outperformed some of the most well known in the business. When choosing your next AR15, Built For Victory. Choose DoubleStar. You’ll be glad you did, and with a lifetime warranty, we guarantee it.
